Wii U is fucked.
Since it is fucked I doubt Nintendo is going to poor shit loads of money into the games that will be on the system. The media has destroyed the reputation of the Wii U. If Skyward Sword didn't do so well this next Zelda will do worse in sales, unless the previews blow people away. So the question is will Nintendo lower cost on the next Zelda or will they go for the unknown kick to the groin with big cost and ambitious development?
Well since the Nintendo announced that it will focus on another department selling health products I seriously doubt they will go all out on any game in the future for Wii. Mario sold little, Donkey Kong sold little so why fuck with it.
I have my opinion on how Nintendo could bring the sales up for the Wii U. Are you ready for it?
Redesign the game pad so it is lighter and fits better in smaller hands ( ya know like fucking kids hands).
If the screen has to be a tad smaller, fuck it, do it. The thing is way to heavy and the buttons layout is to spread out and simply doesn't work great like a PS3 controller.
Make it an option to buy the game pad separate and sell the wii u for 150 with a free pro controller.
The tech specs are very awful for Wii U. 300 dollars is a joke. The fact that there are no game pads on the shelves at stores is very fucked up and strange Nintendo would make a system and not have extra game pads to buy separate.
Did Nintendo genuinely believe they would succeed with Wii U or is it a grand scheme?
If they came out with a new style game pad that was all around better and cost less with the option to buy the system separate from the game pad, people might not have a problem buying low cost games like 2D b.s. like another mario. Even if they made super entertaining games that were not super expensive to make I would be down and I would buy and play.
Nintendo could even make a new 3DS that was compatible with Wii U. The new 3DS could have an xl style and have the streaming ability that the game pad has and of course a slot for 3DS games. Would also be cool to have 3DS games play on the tv with split screen for top and bottom screens. Basically give back to your damn buyers Nintendo. Give us something special for dealing with the Wii U hardship.
First and foremost a new game pad that would spark interest in more buyers along with a price drop will get people that have been sitting on the fence to come onto Nintendo's side with some cash in hand. Shit is called value and this is why Nintendo will have to lower the price on the system, the game pad and the games in order to get what they are worth at the moment.
If the game pad is the problem this is a fixable matter and Nintendo can do it. This 2014 Christmas season will put the Wii U at two years since release and a proper amount of time in between to make a new model. If Nintendo doesn't do this by the end of the year there is seriously something wrong going on here.
Nintendo keeps saying it is the lack of software (games), this is showing to be untrue with sales figures for big releases like mario. Smash brothers isn't going to be a console seller nor will mario kart. Sure they will sell the games, however if mario didn't sell what makes you think mario kart is going to sell.
Nintendo is essentially getting their asses kicked by Sony and Microsoft. People spend tons of money on that stuff, is there any left over for Nintendo these days? Are the fans dying out and are new generations passing Nintendo up for the more popular violent games? Or is the Wii U basically shit that the majority doesn't even want to consider buying?
Change the fucking game pad and reduce the price to what the piece of shit is worth and boom you could have buyers for fuck sake. The more people that buy the systems the more people will buy the games. duh.
If I can buy a ps3 with all the violent games and a console that has four times the power of a Wii U for a hundred dollars more, something isn't right.
I seriously doubt I will give a shit about this New Nintendo Health product in the works and if this is where they focus their funds at least the bastards could still make quality hand held games. Fuck at this point I don't give a fuck about innovation or any strange Nintendo crap. I need Nintendo games. I don't give a shit if I use my thumbs and I don't give a shit if the games are 16 bit. Forget about competing with other companies with high end games. The power of Nintendo is concept, imagination, creativity, and entertainment. You don't have to make huge games like grand theft auto to keep the Nintendo quality there. A while back Nintendo announced that the next zelda would be the best looking and biggest one yet. Question is will that still be the case with the bombing of the system? Retro is likely working on a new Metroid which would be mega fucking awesome and the new zelda could be awesome as long as it isn't anything like twilight shitness. Still I won't want to play either with the awful game pad. I will use the good ol' wii remote and nun chuck.
If you would also like a new style game pad or 3DS joined with Wii U, raise your voice! Get on all forums and let others know that this should and needs to be done. Amen.
